Background matching, disruptive coloration, and differential use of microhabitats in two neotropical grasshoppers with sexual dichromatism [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Cryptic coloration is an adaptative defensive mechanism against predators. Color patterns can become cryptic through background coloration‐matching and disruptive coloration.

Background matching through fast and reversible melanin-based pigmentation plasticity in tadpoles comes with morphological and antioxidant changes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Facultative colour change is widespread in the animal kingdom, and has been documented in many distantly related amphibians. However, experimental data testing the extent of facultative colour change, and associated physiological and morphological ...

Spatial and temporal variation in prey color patterns for background matching across a continuous heterogeneous environment [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 In heterogeneous habitats, camouflage via background matching can be challenging because visual characteristics can vary dramatically across small spatial scales.

Background matching in the brown shrimp Crangon crangon: adaptive camouflage and behavioural-plasticity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 A combination of burrowing behaviour and very efficient background matching makes the brown shrimp Crangon crangon almost invisible to potential predators and prey. This raises questions on how shrimp succeed in concealing themselves in the heterogeneous

Nocturnal camouflage through background matching against moonlight. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ASignificance Predators need to approach their prey undetected. Barn owls (Tyto alba) differ from the patterned designs of most nocturnal birds in having white underparts. Modeling radiometric quantities of the sky, the ground, and the barn owl itself, we

Conflict between background matching and social signalling in a colour-changing freshwater fish [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The ability to change coloration allows animals to modify their patterning to suit a specific function. Many freshwater fishes, for example, can appear cryptic by altering the dispersion of melanin pigment in the skin to match the visual background ...

Camouflaging in a complex environment--octopuses use specific features of their surroundings for background matching. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Living under intense predation pressure, octopuses evolved an effective and impressive camouflaging ability that exploits features of their surroundings to enable them to "blend in." To achieve such background matching, an animal may use general ...

Crypsis by background matching and disruptive coloration as drivers of substrate occupation in sympatric Amazonian bark praying mantises. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Background matching and disruptive coloration are common camouflage strategies in nature, but few studies have accurately measured their protective value in living organisms.

Adaptive Background Matting Using Background Matching [PDF]
CoRR, 2022 Due to the difficulty of solving the matting problem, lots of methods use some kinds of assistance to acquire high quality alpha matte. Green screen matting methods rely on physical equipment.
